Terrapin Ben Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hello there fanners. Long time lurker, first time poster. Hope all is well on your end. After seeing the eurpean dates announced, i was wondering - Who has seen wilco overseas? Where was the show? How was it? Was it very different from shows in the states? My gf and i are considereing planning a european vaction around a few of the dates. Thanks for your time and have a great day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I know at least three people who have seen Wilco on three continents. Now that's dedication! I've never made it any further away than Vermont, which is surprisingly like San Francisco, so I'm no help at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gogo Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 They've played South America at least once: http://wilcobase.com/event.php?event_key=893 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 They've played South America at least once: http://wilcobase.com/event.php?event_key=893 So technically someone could have seen Wilco on 5 continents! As to the original posters questions I am sure it is alot different then a show in the US. I have only seen 3 concerts in Europe and the crowds act differently then the USA crowds..they really let loose out there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Have they ever hit Europe three different times in a single year? That has to be a first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 good lord. they are playing these two places! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 good lord. they are playing these two places! Are those the two places in Italy? Just wondering because the second image seems to link back to a French site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Months ago a friend offered to take me to Amsterdam for my 40th in November and guess who's going to be there! Good thing she's a fan too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Are those the two places in Italy? Just wondering because the second image seems to link back to a French site. The second pic he posted is the Conservatorio in Milan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Months ago a friend offered to take me to Amsterdam for my 40th in November and guess who's going to be there! Good thing she's a fan too! Ha! I was thinking of the same trip, at the same time, for the same reason, though subtract 10 years. But I doubt that'll happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Terrapin Ben Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 is the theatre in the first pic the one they used in life aquatic? i think so... man, i'd really like to make this happen. thanks for the replies everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Backstage Pass Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The day after the show in Amsterdam, Wilco does another gig in the Netherland (y-e-s!!!), in Eindhoven, the venue is the Effenaar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samuel70 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Have they ever hit Europe three different times in a single year? That has to be a first. Yes, they did it last tour (2007) and the tour calendar was pretty similar to the one of this year. European tour :May/June, right after the album is released.July, European outdoor festivals.November. Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Ah okay, thanks, didn't remember that. Yes, they did it last tour (2007) and the tour calendar was pretty similar to the one of this year.

50footqueenie Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Wow thanks for the photos of the Italian venues - makes me even more stoked that I've scored front row tickets for Milan!! I prefer to see gigs in Europe than even in my own country of Scotland, as I find the asshole quota at gigs here is too high. In general I really like that European audiences tend to LISTEN more then really go for it in the appreciation. I think some bands find that slightly disconcerting to start with but I think it's really cool that people listen rather than spend time getting pissed or talking with their friends or on thir bloody phones! So yes come to Europe for your enjoyment, but please respect those around you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
merkattack Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Anyone here try to purchase tickets for the Copenhagen show? The link on the website isn't working, and I can't find anywhere to email someone who might be able to fix the link. Alternatively, does anyone know where those tickets are being sold?

filbert1080 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thought about going to this one, but I think I'll have to settle for the Helsinki show in a couple of weeks. Have you seen the Helsinki show tickets anywhere? I've been banging my head against the keyboard for the last week looking for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for finding this - the wilcoworld link now works correctly too. (And yikes this ticket price seems steep! The venue must cost quite a bit or something.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slowcoach Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 good lord. they are playing these two places! Just bought my ticket for that! It will be my first Wilco show ever.. Can't wait... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
memyself&I Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 not even one non-festival show in Germany? Come on, there just have to be some more shows after playing in the Netherlands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
